Elements, resources, connectors — and the two panels in Flow Builder everyone ignores until a debug session forces them to look.

## Resources are variables wearing a costume

Every formula, variable, and record collection is a resource. Name them like code — get\_Account, var\_SendEmail — and your future debug logs become readable.

## The debug panel tells the truth

Debug runs show every element's inputs and outputs. Learn to read one now; every later lesson assumes you can.

## Practice in your org

- Open your Developer Edition org and follow along step by step
- Change one thing at a time and note what happens
- When something breaks, read the error before searching for it
